    Well he’s different but it’s futile pastime calling best Evers in boxing.
    Lomos Hitech thing is something else,his movement is so good in a flurry of punchers he there one sec and somewhere else the next sec and it’s always the punch you don’t see that hurts the most.

    Agreed. Lomachenko admitted as much in the post fight interview.
    It's unfortunate that the focus of his last 4 wins has been on his opponent quitting rather that vasyl skills.
    Now I'm not an expert on history but I can't recall a boxer winning 4 world title fights in a row by RTD!
    This man is doing something special in my eyes

    This fight is a really strange fight.

    So as a result of this fight Loma defeats a 37 year old smaller fighter without connecting anything serious, without Rigo putting up a fight, with Loma getting away with shots in the back of the head. And you are happy about this fight?
    I don't understand how Salido was putting a fight to Loma and two times Olympic champion even didn't try to fight.

    No he's not the best until he fights some names. He beat and man 2 weight classes under with 2 fights in 2 years and 37 years of age. I need to see him beat some names. Garcia, Crawford are a few names to earn best fighter.

    The only things that beat Lomachenko are a fluke punch, going too big, or getting old.

    I just can't see any current fighter beating this version of him in and around his weight class. Even looking back through modern boxing history, I see only a few of the absolute elite that I give a chance to. His movement is something else, and it sets his whole game up - probably the most effortlessly fluid technique I can think of. Age and size might detract from this though, and its absolutely key to his style.

    That said, he looked a far bigger man in there tonight, and with two fighters who are technically excellent, those few cm's made a large difference.

    i think he needs to stay away from Garcia though. That's a horrible fight for him. If he keeps going up, the weight is gonna catch up with him. He should stay at 130 and clean it out. I understand that he wants to dare to be great but he needs to slow it down and take out everyone at 130 and hope Garcia forgets about him

    Salido beat him fair and square. He was the better inside fighter in that fight and it is clear that Lomachenkos punches (and body shape/style) are best suited for being in close. Salido took that away in their fight being better at it than he was. Lomachenko did lose.
